I recall similar hallucinatory experiences from when I was sick with high fevers. Mostly back during childhood.
Not much else to add here, just dropping this quote to meet the quota, haha. Hope nobody takes offense. These phenomena fall under hallucinations and paresthesia, right?
"Hallucinations are very common in those suffering from schizophrenia. Hallucinations are sensory deceptions where there is no actual stimulus, yet the person hallucinating perceives something non-existent as real. Auditory hallucinations—specifically voices—are most typical for schizophrenia. These are voices heard only by the patient. Usually, these voices converse with one another, comment on the patient's behavior, offer advice, or criticize them. Voices can also issue commands, which we call imperative hallucinations."
Visual hallucinations are rarer, meaning they see things that aren't there, like strange lights, monsters, or demons. They can also have somatic hallucinations, involving bodily sensations not caused by real stimuli. For example, they might feel as though their internal organs are decaying or moving through their body, or like an electric current is running through their legs—often linked to other delusional ideas, such as being destroyed by invisible forces.
Paresthesia😢(cramp, money, perception) a medical term for an unusual, distorted sensation caused by abnormal internal stimuli.

I have been doing some deep thinking (yes, I really have! 🙂) and I finally hit upon a realization... my most frequent sounding boards are my own friends, a group made up of people who are truly, fundamentally different from one another. Of course, perhaps what binds us all together is a shared streak of stubbornness. It is what it is... even I struggle to wrap my head around someone else's perspective when I genuinely don't see the logic in it—not because we are talking about the mysteries of the universe, mind you, but just because our viewpoints clash, blah blah blah... which makes it such a challenge for me to translate my own thoughts into language that these same people would actually find relatable and acceptable... though I suspect there is more to it than just that, but anyway...
On the other hand, I can't help but wonder if anyone else out there feels just as overly analytical and stuck in this same predicament? 😉 🙏

I guess I have the same problem. Too smart for my own good, but I can't seem to convince anyone around me... It's rough, haha.
Maybe one day you'll find a cure for cancer or something similarly productive for humanity with that freakish brain of yours. It'd be a shame if all that creativity went to waste.

The issue here is this: women might actually transfer emotional data to the left hemisphere faster because they have a wider bandwidth, or a larger reservoir, whatever you want to call it, but they can't process it there quickly enough. That's why their verbalization comes out muddled, confusing, or just rambling. "

It must be exhausting, watching people spout nonsense while you're consistently right but just can't find a way to prove it.
Maybe your circle isn't even on your level. Why feel this need to prove your "absolute truth" to them anyway? Honestly, people might actually lose it if they knew the full story. It’s probably better left unsaid. 😂
PS: I hope the OP takes this as a little jab at her harmless vanity. I’m starting to wonder if it isn't just a matter of brain structure—specifically a thick corpus callosum connecting the two hemispheres. Maybe too much data is flooding from the intuitive right side into the "logical" left, and it just can't process it all. I wish I had a brain like that. A natural knack for enlightenment. Why bother with words? I’d probably just focus on following the lightning-fast info coming from the "illogical" hemisphere that sees the big picture. Just my thoughts. There's a thread on gender diversity by Indra where she touched on the differences between male and female brains. Someone posted something interesting there that I didn't take seriously at first, but listening to what's happening in our scene, it's actually pretty spot on. If I can track it down, I'll paste it here, assuming the author doesn't mind.

I find myself getting drawn into these debates all the time, and while I feel like I have all the necessary arguments lined up, everything feels so incredibly layered and complex that I just can't seem to boil it down into simple terms for everyone else to grasp...🤷
That’s why, for quite some time now, I’ve mostly been participating in these discussions from the sidelines—essentially just sitting here getting increasingly frustrated because I watch people spout nonsense or argue points they’re clearly wrong about, yet I can't seem to steer them toward the actual reality of the situation, whatever the topic may be. Now, I’ll admit, I did briefly wonder if perhaps my vocabulary was just too limited 🤣, but that isn't really the issue at hand. It’s more that whatever I’m thinking about or taking a stand on is just so nuanced and complicated to explain to others. I don't consider myself some profound philosopher by any means, but I do feel like I'm right far more often than I can actually demonstrate, simply because... my thoughts always seem to outrun my ability to put them into words. ☕
hm hm, again with the hm. There’s this old saying about communication:
"Clear thought, clear expression"It's hard to wrap my head around having "all the arguments" in your mind but being unable to say them because they're too complex. Maybe. Ever tried using math instead?
It's like giving a computer a task and having it flash on the screen: "solved, but I don't know how to display the answer." Sorry, just a joke...
Seems like you might be pulling my leg a bit. Don't take it personally...
